I am originally from Hong Kong, but have been working in the asset management industry in Chicago for my entire work life.
I have a bachelors in engineering from UC Berkeley.
I have 5.5 years of work experience - I don't currently have a big title - just a quant analyst. My organization is very flat.
My most recent base salary in the US is 14000 SGD.
The new role is with one of the big pensions funds (one of GIC/Temasek), and will be paying base salary of 15500 SGD.
The new title is VP in their quant research/asset allocation group.
I have a 4 month notice period and HR wanted me to get the notice period kicked off due to the length, and said not to worry about epass approval because they are sure of it and they have never failed, and worst come to worst they would win in an appeal.
So I did the foolish thing against the advice of this forum by quitting before IPA. Am I likely to be fine?
